Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns finds AWS services on your cloud environment. Discovering some of these resources requires updating the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

Pattern-based discovery and mapping requirements

Verify the AWS discovery prerequisites
For more information, see the prerequisites section in Amazon AWS Cloud components discovery using patterns.
Remove resources from the Resource Inclusion List table
Verify that the relevant resource isn't listed in the Resource Inclusion List [sa_cloud_inventory_resource_whitelist] table to avoid duplicate discovery. For more information on removing resources from the Resource Inclusion List, see Amazon Web Services (AWS) Resource Inventory.
Enable the relevant pattern
The pattern for this service is disabled by default. Starting with Visibility Content version 6.28.0, activating or deactivating a pattern won't be considered a customization, and it will continue to receive updates. Patterns that were previously activated or deactivated will reset to the latest predefined version after upgrading while retaining the last active field value. For more information on enabling patterns, see Activate a disabled pattern.
Configure the Discovery schedule to support GovCloud
Discovering AWS GovCloud (US) accounts requires using a datacenter URL when setting up an AWS service account. For more information, see Create AWS service accounts.

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in both CMDB and non-CMDB tables.

Data stored in non-CMDB tables

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the non-CMDB table when running the Amazon AWS - Timestream for InfluxDB Database Instance - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.

You can review the non-CMDB AWS tables by navigating to All > Configuration > AWS. You can also search the navigation filter for the specific pattern name.

Table 1. AWS Timestream for InfluxDB Database Instance [cmdb_aws_timestream_for_influxdb_database_instance]
Field Description
Name [name] The name assigned to the InfluxDB database instance.
Status [status] The current state or health of the InfluxDB database instance.
Configuration Item [configuration_item] References the Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] table.
DB Instance Type [db_instance_type] The compute and memory configuration type for the InfluxDB instance.
DB Storage Type [db_storage_type] The storage class or type used for the InfluxDB instance.
Object Id [object_id] The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) uniquely identifying the InfluxDB instance.

Data stored in CMDB tables

Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application populates data in the CMDB when running the Amazon AWS - Timestream for InfluxDB Database Instance - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern.

Table 2. Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database]
Field Description
Name [name] The name assigned to the InfluxDB database instance.
Install Status [install_status] Install status of the resource. Default value is Installed.
Object ID [object_id] The ARN uniquely identifying the InfluxDB instance.
Operational status [operational_status] Operational status of the resource. Default value is Operational.
Type [type] Type of resource. The value is set to AWS::Timestream::InfluxDBInstance.

CI relationships

The Amazon AWS - Timestream for InfluxDB Database Instance - Extended Inventory (LP) pattern creates these relationships to support Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB Database Instance discovery.

CI Relationship CI
Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database] Hosted on::Hosts AWS Datacenter [cmdb_ci_aws_datacenter]
AWS Timestream for InfluxDB Database Instance [cmdb_aws_timestream_for_influxdb_database_instance] References Cloud DataBase [cmdb_ci_cloud_database]

AWS tag discovery

The pattern collects tags and populates them in the Key Value [cmdb_key_value] table.
Table 3. Key Value [cmdb_key_value]
Field Description
Key [key] Tag name.
Value [value] Tag value.
